On the right track

Where in the world can you find kids enthusiastic about geography? Shrine Elementary School, Royal Oak, is one place. Students competed against each other to represent the school in the next level of the National Geography Bee. Sixth-grader Isaiah Thummel won for knowing a lot about Chile when it came to a final question about South America. Three students from each grade received certificates, including Jake Vogelheim (front row, left), Isaiah Thummel, Joe Lynch, Olivia Palm, Dennis Graveline, Luke Cerone (back row, left), Teresa Nunez-Desmond, Soli Evans, Ryan Suchyta and Cal Liggett.
